Hi Boost gang,

The first version of Boost for Lemmy is almost ready. If you want to test the app for bugs and give feedback before the app is published, follow this link https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.rubenmayayo.lemmy to enable an early access option on the Boost for Lemmy Play Store listing.

Thanks for your patience!

Hi, if I long press the home screen icon to access quick actions like Local or subscribed it launch the app in blank with no content (only the navigation bars). In order to fix this i have to close and launch the app again.

Cheers!

Awesome! I've been waiting for it since reddit closed.

I'm missing the "mark as read when scrolling" though.

[-] Orionza@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I've never used Boost before and it's auto downloaded today. I'm so happy to try it. Looks great so far.

When someone replies to your comments, you get a notification. But clicking the notification takes you to the 'mentions' tab, instead of the 'replies' tab

Done! How/where do you prefer feedback?

[-] antik@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Nice, congratulations on the Beta!

How do I log in to an account with 2FA?

Thank you! So happy that this is happening!

Immediate feedback is that it does not allow login with 2FA (TOTP) yet => "missing totp token".

Edit: Ads removed! Great work!

Edit2: Found another comment and the info that this will be fixed with the next beta... also just set my custom theme to my old boost for reddit colors and it just so nice to have exactly the same user experience with the new lemmy app again. Thank you so much @rmayayo@lemmy.world

Install beta 1.0.1 and let me know if it is fixed.

Managed to export my old settings from the Reddit app, and importing it just works flawlessly! Thank you so much Rubén! You definitely more than earned a launched rocket from me :)

[-] seemefeelme@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago

I can't seem to expand images or download them in comments. Other than that, it's just been great to have Boost back!

[-] cease70@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I used ReVanced Manager to continue using Boost as my Reddit app of choice, so I'm obviously loving the look and feel of this app for Lemmy too. Looks and feels pretty much exactly the same. Great job by the developer!

[-] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Great news!

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It's been a long road. I'm looking forward to getting the boost experience again.

[-] red@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

The welcome message is Welcome !username. I think it should be Welcome username!

[-] ShadowCat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm home 🥲 thanks so much, already launched the rocket

[-] lucario_owo@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago

Finally feeling right at home, the only thing I noticed is that images load faster than other clients, thanks for that!

Now this is what I've been waiting for! -- posted from Boost for Lemmy

[-] Blinky_katt@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I really need a "hide read post" option 😺

Tried installing the app as a tester, but I get a message telling me that google purchases are not available in my country.

Registered, downloaded and immediately purchased! Thank you!

[-] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Just autodownloaded and so glad to be back to a familiar interface

[-] PhatInferno@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

Thank you so much for this app! Was my favorite for reddit and soo happy that lemmy gets one now!

Its so nice being back tho this ui!

[-] knobbysideup@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Looks great so far! Already paid for it. Looking forward to the honing of everything.

[-] t0m5k1@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Oh yes, like coming back home.

[-] DasherPack@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It works perfectly! ¡Gracias, Rubén!

[-] sanbeiji@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

This is awesome! Here is my feedback so far:

I was able to log in under a test account, but not this one yet due to the lack of an Authenticator TOTP field at login. I look forward to that feature and testing more extensively.

Autofill overwrote the instance field with my user id when selecting a password sometimes.

The UI looks freaking awesome 👍😎. Thanks for creating this!

So thankful for your hard work bringing Boost to Lemmy. Everything feels "back to normal" now.

Edit: just bought it.

[-] acidagfc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Switching view does not seem to work without relaunching the app.
